Open my mouth as wide as it can go
Letting out the loudest piercing sound my voice can make
Release every part of voice that is held in this body
I hold back my screams
Which hold back my thoughts
Which hold back my emotions
I am holding back and holding onto
Myself
Parts of me that need to be let go
I release through movement
I must release through sound
My truest potential is becoming effected by my lack of vocalization
The thoughts are just multiplying in my mind, and as much movement as I create
And as many breaths I take-
I am chained
I am a prisoner of my own thoughts
I am prisoner of my lack to express how I feel verbally
I need to change
I need to scream...
I need to whisper...
But most of all ...I need to talk-
